Dennis Mark Fletcher was the son of Darcy and Joy (Coleman) Fletcher and was raised on the family farm in rural Union County, SD. Denny attended country school and graduated from Akron (IA) High School in 1969. He was known as "Tex," loved his cars and participating in football and wrestling. He was united in marriage to Annette Small on November 8, 1969 in Akron, IA and from this union one daughter, Missy, was born. The couple later divorced.  On February 2, 1974, in Akron, Iowa he married Susan Cunningham. They had two children, Cam and Ashley. Denny and Sue lived in Sioux City, IA a short time before moving to Bronson, IA.  In 1986, the family relocated to Sergeant Bluff, IA.

For over 50 years Denny was a member of the local carpenters union working in various aspects of construction including venturing out on his own to engage in local residential home building. Through the years, Denny has enjoyed being a lifelong member of the Elks, playing many years of slow pitch softball at Floyd, riding his Harley, NASCAR, watching sports, golfing, and following his children and grandchildren's various activities. Most of all, he loved the times spent with his family, friends and especially his grandchildren. He was best known for always being the life of the party, giving life altering advice as the "Love Doctor," never asking for anything and always putting his children and grandchildren first. Denny will be greatly missed but the positive impact he made on each and every person who knew him will live on.

Survivors include his three children: Missy Kolar (Gene) of Sergeant Bluff, IA, and their children, Abby (Nate) Monger and their daughter, Remi Jo and Andy Kolar; Cam Fletcher (Megan) of Fairview, Texas, and their children, Blake, Hadley and Emerson; Ashley Wilson (Paul) of Sergeant Bluff, Iowa; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Lynn and Dennis Knox of Conway, AR and their sons, Chris and Aaron Knox.

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents; his grandparents, his in-laws Red and Yvonne Cunningham and by his beloved wife, Sue.
